JSON.parse UTF-8 string

Question

I'm trying to parse a UTF-8 encoded string, but JSON.parse is choking on this line:

undefined:306 , "o": { "type": "uri", "value": "http://got.dbpedia.org/resource/\U00010331\ ^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token U

this is the line I use:

var object = JSON.parse(data);

I've also tried with this line, but no success:

var object = JSON.parse(data.toString('utf8'));

Any idea?

Solution

In a JSON string a \ character may not be followed by an uppercase U character. Your JSON is invalid. You need a lowercase u instead and should fix whatever is outputting the invalid JSON.
